What's your suggestions on studying a map?

Question

My teacher gave us a map of the southern counties of Mississippi and told us that there's going to be a test on Monday. Well, I've been studying, but I can't seem to remember the thirty-odd that she gave us! Can you help me out, pretty please?

Answer 1

either da dude's technique or do an Animainics on (set it to music)

Answer 2

If you need only memorize the names, this can be done using mnemonics. Many proffesions use this method of memorizing. For instance, the resistor color code sequence:
Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Grey, White, can be memorized easily with the following mnemonic: Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls, But Violet Gives Willingly.. Hope this helps.
If you have to memorize WHERE the locations are on the map this becomes more difficult!

Answer 3

Ok, I think there is 82 counties in MS, I don't remember. Do you have to name the counties? Either do them in alphabetical order or start with the bottom counties.
-----------------------------------------------------
West to East:
Bottom row:Hancock, Harrison, Jackson
Next row: Pearl, Stone, George
Next row: Wilkinson, Amite, Pike, Wathall, Marion, Lamar, Forrest, Perry, Greene.
$th row: Adams, Franklin, Lincoln, Lawrence, Jefferson Davis, Covington, Jones & Wayne
5th row: Jefferson, Copiah, Simpson, Smith, Jasper, Clarke.
6th row: Warren, Hinds, Rankin, Scott, Newton & Lauderdale.

I hope this is what you are looking for.

Answer 4

I'd either draw it out OR make a copy and then make a puzzle out of it by cutting up the copy
